I see the wisdom of local government representing the local population reducing the power of the central government so they can't unilaterally buy $100 million of jets we don't need and sending forces to wars we don't want. It also encourages competition between jurisdictions, which tends to create more freedom and less economic regulation.<br />In the States i'm aware of many that live in one state with no income tax and work in another nearby.

Why should someone like yourself have to rely on local votes to get elected to a federal system?<br /><br />Wouldn't a better system allow people to vote for ideologies, despite their geographic location, and have leaders of that ideology get the seats to represent it?<br /><br />If the Greens had 7% of the vote nationally, why shouldn't they get 7% of the representation?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
